What is a “Magnetic Drilling Machine”? & How many types are there?
A portable drilling machine that comes with a magnetic base is also called an electromagnetic or permanent magnet. The drilling machine can be used as a twist drill bits, annual cutter, smiling cutters, and different other rotary cutters. With the help of suitable bits, the machine can also tap threads, ream, and countersink.
The machines are a much faster and portable alternative to hole machines that include drill press. They’re accurate and are used for machines that are generally made out of high-speed steel (HSS) or out of tungsten carbide-tipped (TCT).

7. Portable Drilling Machines:
- It is operated by holding in a hand to drill small holes that are commonly used in the entire workshop.
